Welcome the 25th Annual Melody Miles fundraiser! This year the Hamilton-Wenham Friends of the Arts is taking our race virtual, allowing you six days in May to run, walk, or dance your way through any 5k or 5mi route in your neighborhood (or on your treadmill). Invite your friends, bring the dog, or push the kids in the stroller. We have always been about fun, family, and music, and hope this year will still be the same. In order to keep you inspired during your race, we are putting together a playlist of all the singers and musicians you have come to love and enjoy during our live race. We will release this playlist on YouTube the first official day of the race for you to enjoy. Additionally, the first 100 registrants will get our coveted Melody Miles t-shirts, and we encourage everyone to wear them the day they do their race*. Show your support for the arts in our schools and join us for Melody Miles!

*We will offer a local t-shirt pick-up option for those within 30 minutes of Hamilton/Wenham. For those outside this area, we will ship you your t-shirt.
Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical Presented by Miles River Middle School
Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other's lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace.
